Hey everyone back again with a another queston! I am a missionary and i am going to Roaton, Honduras ( not shure if Roaton is spelled correctly but it is a island off of Honduras) but what i am asking is that there our US cell phones will not work there unless you are willing to pay a huge BILL! So i have some murs 154.600 MHz 1 watt radios and some UHF Midland GXT FRS radios gessing 0.5 watts. We need comms there at some point in time so which of the one is legal to use in that location? I do ont know where i could post this so i came to the best source HAM's. You guys know the law better than anyone els. Thanks.

Actually, since you aren't talking about ham radio use in Honduras, you'll want to ask the Honduran authorities about using those radios. Reciprocal operating agreements for ham radio don't apply outside the ham radio bands or to unlicensed folk.

Chances are that the Hondurans are already using the radios w/o licensing anyway. But they might prefer to enforce the law in your case (better chance of collecting on fines)

Best wishes finding someone who can help with Honduran regs.

Most definitely contact a representative of Honduras. I would try your area federal reps and ask them who to talk too. Apply for the reciprocal operators license. Make sure of what frequencies are used there.
Good Luck,
